A follow-up movie to cult sci-fi thrillerCoherenceis in the works,Deadlinereports. Plot details are still top secret – including whether the movie will be a sequel, a prequel, or follow a different story entirely. Director James Ward Byrkit is back to helm the follow-up with original co-writer Alex Manugian, in whatever form it may take.
“I’ve been inundated with pitches for sequels and offers for remakes ever since the film came out but nothing ever inspired us until [producer] Kate Andrews sent me an email with two words that unlocked the box,” Byrkit said in a statement. “So either Kate’s a genius or she’s from a parallel reality where Alex and I already wrote this and she’s pitching us our own movie.”
Fans of the original movie responded positively to the news on Twitter. “Amazing!! I loved the first one!“wrote one viewer, whileanother echoed, “I REALLY ENJOYED THE FIRST MOVIE!! I hope it is set in a similar universe but with a different story and not a direct sequel.” Anothertweeted, “I don’t know how a sequel would work but generally I would love about 50 more films with this exact vibe.”
